Willow has had multiple successful interactions with kitties (all of which had different personalities) and she's done wonderfully! We've officially added "Can live with cats" to her petfinder bio! YAY! She is one of the most well-mannered 10 month old puppies you could ever meet. Her submissive temperament makes for a sensitive and loving girl

SHARING for a neighboring shelter!

Our friends at Driftless Humane Society have a beautiful female GSD named "Timber" who is starting to experience Kennel Stress and will benefit from being adopted to an owner with experience. She's not overly dog reactive and basically ignores them out on walks, but she would prefer to live as an only dog and have her own space

‼ TIMBER'S ADOPTION FEE IS SPONSORED ‼

Timber is approximately two years old and has looked to have had puppies in the past. She is a loving, sweet girl. Timber is very active, being a working-line German Shepherd. She will require a breed-knowledgeable owner. She doesn't seem to have been taught any basic manners, so she will need help learning the ropes on becoming a great household member.

While Timber was found with another dog, she does not do well with others here at the shelter due to the high-stress environment. If adopted with another dog, slow meet and greets are essential to make the introduction successful.

Timber has been doing very well with our dog walkers, and she walks along like a champ! She does not seem to react to other dogs while outside of the shelter, but her stress inside the shelter does not let her personality show very well.

Stevie & Flo had a fun little track meet yesterday! They'd both love to have a family who can include them in all kinds of outdoor fun! Just because they're small doesn't mean they're dainty ;) both are scrappy and brave, and Flo even has the cutest "Smile" when she gets excited

SHARED from our friends at the Coulee Region Humane Society:

FOUND A BABY WILD ANIMAL?
Not all of them need rescuing! Here’s a quick guide:
Baby Birds
•Hopping around with feathers? It’s a fledgling — leave it. Parents are close.
•No feathers + on the ground? Try putting it back in the nest, or a makeshift one nearby.

Baby Squirrels
•Eyes closed, tiny? Put it in a box at the base of the tree — mom may come get it. If mom doesn’t show up within 2-3 hours, bring the squirrel to us.
•Eyes open + active? Probably old enough to explore!

Baby Rabbits
• Found in a shallow nest? Leave them alone! Mom only visits 2 times a day (dusk and dawn).
• Cold, injured, or wandering alone? Bring the rabbit to us.

Ducklings
•Alone + chirping? Look to see if mom is around. Look up into the trees as well, wood ducks’ nest in trees. If no mom close by, bring the duck to us.
•In danger or no mom around? Call for help.

Baby Opossums
•Smaller than 7 inches and alone (not including tail)? Likely orphaned. Call a wildlife rehabber.
• Momma hit by a car? Check her pouch, if there are babies DO NOT REMOVE them. Bring momma and her babies to us.
• Clinging to mom’s back? Leave them — that’s normal! She carries her babies this way.

Step In If…
• It’s injured or cold
• It’s been alone for hours
• It’s in danger (pets, roads, etc.)

Intelligent & Energetic dogs tend to be the ones who don't do as well in shelter environments for prolonged periods of time. It's not enough positive stimulation for their brains, and tends to bring more stress on them as they want to get out and learn and explore! Because of this, we're hoping someone will want to bust Flo out of here and give her the life she so deserves!
